Tofu Cat Litter Australia is a great product really.
The odor control is top tier, which is great for small spaces. Dust control is top tier too, with no sand storms to deal with out the bag.
This litter smells a little like black tea and it’s not overpowering. It’s a pleasant smell.
Like other tofu (ok this isn’t tofu – it’s pea) products it’s a tad pricey.
This is Chinese made. Not a problem really, but it’s kind of amusing to call the brand ‘Tofu Cat Litter Australia’. Really?
Another issue? The long needle-like texture wasn’t our kittens favorite to dig their paws into.
Overall, this cat litter is great for small apartments and those who want things smelling fresh.

I got a pack of Tofu Cat Litter Australia and used it with my two kittens.
Then I performed other testing including dust analysis with an air quality monitor.

Here are the details and photos from testing to glance at.
Dustiness
Tofu Cat Litter Australia produces barely any dust. No issues for health here.
Results from testing below:
Air Quality | 0cm | 0cm pat test | 15cm | 15cm pat test | 30cm |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Max PM2.5 | 2.0 | 1.9 | 1.8 | 2.4 | 3.0 |
Average PM2.5 | 1.5 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.7 | 1.8 |
PM2.5 fluctuation | 0.9 | 1.1 | 0.6 | 1.3 | 2.3 |
Cat Preference and Usage
Our kittens didn’t enjoy Tofu Cat Litter Australia as much as clay (control). We used Chandler and Smitten lightweight clay litter.
Whilst they used this litter here and there, it wasn’t there ‘first choice’. I noticed one of my kittens used it when our kitten occupied the other tray.
I don’t know whether this texture is friendly on the paws as smaller textured litter.
The odor control is superb with this cat litter. If I’m being picky, the lack of dust actually works against feces, which don’t get ‘coated’ as much (a little icky to scoop).
Day | Test | Control |
---|---|---|
1 | 2 | 4 |
1.5 | 1 | 2 |
2 | 1 | 1 |
2.5 | 2 | 4 |
Total | 6 | 11 |
Review Limitations
Our kittens only got to use this for three days, which might not be enough time to acclimate them to the litter. They have used tofu litter in the past though.
I emptied the litter tray four times to try make sure the trays were clean at all times to reduce bias. However, I couldn’t empty the tray at night so that might have influenced results.
Finally the litter boxes used in this article are only 42cm long. Research suggests cats prefer larger boxes (at least 1.5x the size of your cat).

More About Tofu Cat Litter Australia
Who Are Tofu Cat Litter Australia?
As the name suggests, Tofu Cat Litter Australia are an Australian brand.
It’s hard to see whether all the ingredients used are Australian made. The website is a little cluttered for my liking.
The patented blend of ingredients include peas, activated charcoal, baking soda, and enzymes.
It’s a natural clay-free product that is healthier for your cat.
Oh and one cool thing? The box comes with a scratching pad and you can turn it into a cat hiding box. Our kittens really enjoy the scratching pad.
